One could not hope for a more eminent set of reviewers or a more noble forum. What struck me most from the five reviews was how the three metaphysical theologians, on the one hand, and the science-engaged theologian and the historian of modern science and religion, on the other hand, read the book in very different ways. This illustrates to me something of the manner in which the central currents of modern science and religion discourse are struggling to come to terms with the new confidence and visibility of Christian metaphysical theology. Stated the other way around, science and religion discourse has had a pretty happy time over the past century and a half largely ignoring metaphysical theology, and its recent emergence into visibility is perhaps somewhat bewildering to the now eminent and established intellectual traditions that underpin today's mainstream science and religion scholarship. This scholarship largely operates as if traditional metaphysics of any sort—and certainly of the pre-modern theological realist sort—is impossible after Kant, as if ‘science’ and ‘religion’ exist as discrete but perhaps interfaceable domains, as if modern science is obviously an advance on all previous visions of reality, and as if science gives us decisive truths about how things really are—truths that Christian theology must simply adapt to, at whatever doctrinal cost. Peter Harrison and John Perry/D.T. Everhart are profitably questioning aspects of the above-mentioned assumptions, which remain strongly present within the methodologically atheist social sciences1 and populist scientism.2 Yet in large measure, Harrison and Perry/Everhart progress their questions from a stance that has credibility within contemporary science and religion discourse. By ‘within’ I do not mean any compliant conformity, rather I mean that they carefully speak questions to the boundaries and assumptions of that world of discourse with an astute sensitivity to what its status quo can and cannot hear. Acquiring and applying independent but insider-recognized credibility is a complex and demanding enterprise. The historian's approach to modern credibility is interpretive within firmly positive historical categories, and is as non-normative as the aim of historical objectivity allows. The historian, then, can strategically undertake boundary-questioning enterprises—without getting normative or pugnacious—which can be employed to most fruitful effect by a careful, even tacitly theological thinker, like Harrison. As ‘good’ historians refuse to get positionally soiled in first-order meaning disputes, they are polite guests and are usually welcomed inside most of the various academic silos that have developed around the study of both science and religion since the 1960s.

By way of full disclosure, I was in the fortunate position of watching the book take shape in real time and to have had (at times, lively) discussions with its author about its central claims. Like any stimulating new work that seeks to lay out a new agenda, the book not only articulates a bold thesis, but at the same time raises a host of new questions. What follows is a brief summary of the book's argument as I understand it, followed by some of the questions I was left with having completed it. These mostly concern the overall framing device of the book—what Tyson refers to as ‘the first truth discourses’ of science and theology. A second, and relatively brief set of questions is to do with what follows from Tyson's analysis for our evaluation and understanding of modern science. A Christian Theology of Science is part of a relatively new and (literally) unapologetic trend to relocate the science-theology discussion into the heart of Christian theology.1 The central argument of the book is that modern science embodies a worldview that is incompatible with, and indeed opposed to, a genuinely Christian worldview. Tyson speaks in this context of the ‘first truth discourse of science’ which he opposes to ‘the first truth discourse of Christianity’ (1-3). The historical thesis is that in the West, from the seventeenth century onwards, the latter was gradually displaced by the former. Tyson identifies the first truth discourse of science with a form of reductive materialism (24-25), while the first truth discourse of Christianity entails belief in doctrinal propositions that coincide broadly with traditional symbols of faith such as the Apostle's Creed (12, 110). The normative thesis is that unless we recognize the implicit tension between these competing discourses, any attempt to understand the relationship between science and religion is doomed to failure. Tyson argues that this is true for most of such efforts since the nineteenth century: these are variously categorized as ‘adaptation’, ‘withdrawal’, and ‘appropriation’ (5-7, cf. 83-88). Adaptation, typified by liberal Protestantism, makes the relationship work by conceding territory to science and relinquishing central doctrinal claims. Withdrawal involves the privatization of religion, sealing it hermetically from the secular world. Appropriation seeks to bring the methods of science into Christian theology, exemplified in movements such as Young Earth Creationism, or Intelligent Design. What Tyson proposes in place of these unsatisfactory options is a genuinely Christian theology of science that openly confronts the radical difference in their basic orientations. This confrontation involves exposing the underlying metaphysical assumptions of the two enterprises in order to make their basic differences in perspective more explicit. Once this has been accomplished it then becomes possible to begin a reconceptu","PeriodicalId":18945,"journal":{"name":"Modern Theology","volume":" 36","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135291550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stein's own story of suffering gender and racial discrimination and her writings on empathy can help readers enter the world of Lamentations with compassion for those who bear the pain of acute injustice. In addition, her devotion in prayer and worship to the crucified and risen Christ as a Carmelite nun can help us find meaning in suffering. In her writings and witness, she teaches us that God's faithfulness does not abandon us to evil and that his unfailing love rescues us and transforms us into people of compassion and hope in the world.","PeriodicalId":18945,"journal":{"name":"Modern Theology","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135618591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many contemporary theologians' understanding of this challenge is shaped by Karl Barth's attempt to resolve a set of tensions problematising this relation inherited from figures like Kant and Feuerbach. Barth ‘identified’ God's decision to be God with God's decision to be human. Further, he inconsistently but insistently claimed that the ‘form’ in which God reveals Godself in the person of Jesus somewhat isomorphically corresponds to God in Godself. The brilliance and yet instability of Barth's approach spawned a number of construals of theology and economy which depart from him in significant ways. I label these contemporary trajectories the post‐Barthian temptation, Barthian revisionism, Barthian Balthasarianism, and Barthian catholicism and critically evaluate them, suggesting that Barthian catholicism is the most promising.","PeriodicalId":18945,"journal":{"name":"Modern Theology","volume":"207 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135889755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
